Hunt Slonem - Black Diamond Dust AstridOpening Reception Friday, July 5, 5 – 7 pm

Hunt Slonem is an American powerhouse artist whose work has been exhibited globally. Known for his prolific paintings of rabbits, birds, and butterflies, Slonem enjoys prominence in private and public collections worldwide. He has long housed a proliferation of birds in his mammoth New York studio, often rescuing those wounded from the brutal world outside. Slonem finds beauty in the old, weathered, and wounded, often framing his luscious paintings in antique frames, their chips and mars adding a sense of history, memory, and need for preservation.
